Pennsylvania's 1777 emission was authorized under the new state government — the Commonwealth, not the colonial assembly that had issued earlier notes — making this one of the first issues to carry that designation. John Dunlap, who had printed the Declaration of Independence just the previous year, produced these notes at his Philadelphia shop on Market Street.
The 9 Pence denomination is an artifact of pre-decimal inertia. Pennsylvania continued issuing in pounds, shillings, and pence well into the Revolutionary period even as the Continental Congress was pushing dollar-denominated currency in parallel.
